The results suggest several clinical implications. The inclusion of social support in poststroke depression and quality of life after stroke may help nurses in planning stroke programme development, patient education, effective and efficient use of health care resources and effective rehabilitation, especially in those individuals who lack support or who are involved in stressful situations.
Thera-band resistance exercise potentially offers a safe and appropriate form of physical activity that nursing staff can easily incorporate into the daily routine of older people in day care centres, potentially improving functional performance and muscle strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
